Let the Fountain Pens Flow!
Let the Fountain Pens Flow!
After reading about all these Millennials and their new pen hobby I got the sinking feeling I'm one of those "fusty" old guys.
Oh yeah, by the way -- Get off my lawn!
Yeah, Bob. That evil Doug guy is why my next pen will be an M200 in marbled green.
When I first read the article, I didn’t know who any of those guys were. Since immersing myself in fountain pens the last couple weeks, I read it again. Then I picked up on it - “oh yeah, Goulet Pens! Oh yeah, the YouTube guy!” I’m with @WarriorMonk on the ending. I don’t know what point the author was trying to prove - that there’s a—holes everywhere, even the pen world? It didn’t fit what was otherwise a nice, positive article.That’s neat! It’s cool to read an article and actually recognize some of the people’s names and terminology.

Cool article. I haven’t been to Fahrney’s yet, but would like to sometime. Digital minimalism is becoming a thing. Fountain pen popularity has been able to surf that wave.Another good article today --> Let the Fountain Pens Flow!
